Well, it’s all official, I’ve gone and created my own publishing company. Technically, I created and named Inheritance Press when I self-published my blog book earlier this year. But in recent months I’ve been branching out. I’ve formalized Inheritance Press as a business entity, sought public input on my logo design, created a website, and […]

Dear blog readers, I interrupt regularly scheduled vacation blogging to bring you this critical news flash. Some of my regular blog readers know that I have had plans for quite some time (first documented here) to self publish my blog writings in the form of a book, for my children to read and share with […]
What God revealed
Posted in Inspirational, Writing on Sep 16th, 2008
This post is for my friends on Facebook, who are clamoring to know what God revealed to me this weekend that has me so excited. What He revealed is the book He wants me to write. I’ve been trying for a long time to figure out what big story I had to tell. I’ve always […]
It was such an innocent looking box, sitting conspicuously in my office chair. But when I returned from a meeting yesterday to find the small cardboard carton that said “Wiley” on every surface, I knew exactly what it meant. My author’s copies had arrived! I wasted not an instant tearing into the package, and my […]

Don’t you hate it, really hate it, when you can’t think of a word that is right on the tip of your tongue? And the blasted thesaurus was no help, because I couldn’t hit on a word that was quite close enough to lead me to the word I was really trying to find. The […]
Today, boys and girls, we take a brief time out from normal blogging for a little lesson in punctuation. Today, I’m going to educate you about the underutilized mark known as the em dash. Never to be confused with the lowly hyphen. Folks, way too many people out there are using a hyphen or two […]
Tales of a frustrated writer
